TV NEWS CAR BROKEN INTO DURING CRIME-FIGHTING PRESS CONFERENCE

Last week, the following was posted on the website of WJLA-TV, ABC-7, In Washington, D.C.:
“An ABC7 News car was broken into while the crew was attending a press conference held by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Police Chief Cathy Lanier to discuss a Task Force created to fight robberies. According to ABC7 News reporter Stephen Tschida, thieves tore through the news vehicle Wednesday morning and a culprit smashed a window out of the car and stole a cache of equipment. Tschida said the crime happened within view of where the mayor and chief were speaking, approximately 100 feet away.”
* So – this crime-fighting Task Force hasn’t actually started yet, then?
* I know what can be their first case.
* Hey – at least they left the car behind.
* The moral of the story: Park closer to the press conference.
* “Now see those robbers breaking into that car over there? That’s exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about.”
* “As your mayor I have 10-point plan for dealing with this that I have right here in my briefcase…Uh, has anyone seen my briefcase?”
* Remember the old Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Berry? He was on the crack pipe so at least we’re heading in the right direction.
